I'm paraphrasing, but this is basically how all of his requests turned out.

Tsubaki: Can I have a kiss?Urabe: Why?Tsubaki: Can I hold you?Urabe: If you do, I'll cut you with my scissorsTsubaki: Can I have a picture of you smiling?Urabe: Not a chance

I kind of feel like the show's stuck in a rut, using the above formula over and over in the past few episodes.

Yeah, I was kinda disappointed that he turned down his old crush's offer, and was quite surprised how Urabe reacted when he told her about it. I guess it shows that she is starting to have (strong) feelings for him, but the problem is that she doesn't really show it.
